GARRISON SPORTS NOTES

By "Jake"

Soccer Teams Prepare For Coming Season

MILITARY SOCCER SIDES are among the first to prepare for the season that will soon be upon us. One or two of the civilian Clubs have already been in practice, but on Saturday two Army sides, an Air Force team and the Hongkong Football Club will be in action. The Hongkong F.C. meet the Royal Scots, and the R.A.F. tackle the newly formed team from the Combined Military Hospital.

On Saturday following, the Hongkong F.C. will play the Middlesex, and early indications may be had con- cerning the talent of these two First Division military elevens.

Swimming

ONE of the most interest- ing swimming gains of the week-end will be that held by the Royal Scots on Saturday In the Army Pool, Victoria Barracks. It is their annual championships, and will commence at 8 p.m.

Three invitation races feature the programme, and these are the 440 free-style (one swim- mer), the 220 yards back-stroke (one swimmer) and the 200 yards medley relay teams of three-back-stroke, breast-stroke and free-style).

Victoria Recreation Club. the Royal Corps of Signals, the European YM.C.A. and the Lak Taun Swimming Union have been invited, and, I understand, all have accepted.

Indoor Bowls

THE American game of

Indoor Bowls has proved

of great attraction to the men of the Services, and among the enthuslustic many are bowlers of high standard.

The manager of the Alleys, the other night, intimated that there should soon be a League formed of Servicemen from the varlous
